Barryn Sorrell | EDGE | Texas | 6'3" - 256 lbs.


Overview
Sorrell’s measurables and speed won’t be eye-catching, but he’s very consistent and plays with good technique. He can play up or down, but might be targeted as a 3-4 outside ‘backer due to a lack of length. He plays with adequate power at the point and can work around blocks and into the backfield. Sorrell’s rush lacks speed and power but he wins with his hands and has an above-average feel for creating entry points with positioning and body turn. He doesn’t have high-end traits, but he’s productive and reliable. Sorrell could become an average starter in time.

Strengths
  • Upper-body power to tilt blockers off-balance.
  • Can punch and pull tight ends for quick wins.
  • Sticks defenders with well-timed hands in his rush.
  • Greases rush edge with slippery upper-body turn.
  • Subtle hand-fighting and wrist control create advantages.
  • Rarely stays blocked and rallies to the quarterback.

Weaknesses
  • Can be kicked out of his gap by force.
  • Needs forceful punch and control of tight ends.
  • A step slow to get rid of the block and tackle.
  • Below-average get-off and closing speed.
  • Pass rush lacks a threatening dose of power.

This is one pick i actually wanted! He will be a great addition. His motor reminded me of Aaron Kampman.

I love it when the players respect their parents or grandparents for the sacrifices they made.

Sorrell will spend this year learning from the guys in front of him. 5-10 reps a game. Nest year he might take the jump to sharing significant playing time.
